But you are right, it makes people lazy and puts off the task of teaching children right and wrong, dangerous, not dangerous. What ever happend to teaching limits? I feel our society is could care less.Gretanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-15336025482841748812010-12-04T00:15:00.255-05:002010-12-04T00:15:00.255-05:00oh my goodness!!

Thankfully the worst thing my 3 yr old charge does is open the door and maybe go on the steps but by that time I have already caught him! I love the fruit out the window thing though, brilliant way to get it across to them!alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-73074936090773886392010-12-03T17:27:43.050-05:002010-12-03T17:27:43.050-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.slb3334https://www.blogger.com/profile/13059305454615430641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-80059348861941602992010-12-03T17:27:42.812-05:002010-12-03T17:27:42.812-05:00I have a problem with locking the child in his roo...I have a problem with locking the child in his room. 2 major reasons. 1 what if there is a fire? You think in a panic you're going to remember to unlock it? Also, how does he go to the bathroom.slb3334https://www.blogger.com/profile/13059305454615430641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-10181656961014413092010-12-03T17:23:39.138-05:002010-12-03T17:23:39.138-05:00Rebecca,

I haven't read up in a while, but I think they were designed for animal identification and medical applications. Though can of course be used for tracking and other things. <br /><br />They also have GPS trackable family cell phone plans. I know ATT has a plan. I fully intend to get it when my kids have cell phones in a couple of years!<br /><br />As far as babyproofing, I'm actually not a big fan. I do do basics like put dangerous chemicals and medications up high, and locks on doors. But I don't believe in safety proofing the whole living space. I find it ends up being safer for us to teach kids what they can and can't do. Not than baby proofing parents don't do that, I guess I just found baby proofing gave me false security and made me lazy.nycmomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-26995761961923091602010-12-03T15:33:35.601-05:002010-12-03T15:33:35.601-05:00When we were that age and my brothers or I tried t...When we were that age and my brothers or I tried to do something like that my mother would hit us. She never baby proof a damn thing. baby proofing was the back of her hand. And guess what we may have tried it once but never ever did it again. Our mother was firm and we knew our boundaries with her. <br />My charge now tries to escape and get into things he's not suppose to but he knows better then to do it with me. I say no and he knows it means no. I have never hit him but I have always been firm on the boundaries. His parents are not strict and wonder why he is always whining and climbing everything with them. <br />With me their is no whining and he will be reprimanded each time he miss behaves until he learns not to do it anymore.<br />I did the same thing with a family I babysit for and when the parents asked their daughter why she is good with me, said "Jess, says no fussing allowed because it won't get us what we want". And I am the only sitter they would ever leave all 3 children with alone. They are so surprised that the children love me and listen to everything I say.Bostonnannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-10145229737057878652010-12-03T12:28:17.456-05:002010-12-03T12:28:17.456-05:00OMG.

When she was getting off the bus one day after kindergarden my mom was watching for her out the window and saw my sister with her friends walk directly past our house. My mom runs outside and askss where she is going and she replys Katherines. She just didn't get that you need to check in and let people know where you are going. I remember once when she was 4 she ran away and hid from my parents. My mom was frantic! I've never seen anyone run the block that fast in my life. A time later My sister emerges from some bushes. We asked if she heard us and she said yes. She then said she didn't want to come out of the bushes because she liked it there. There was no rhyme or reason to what she was doing.Phoenixnoreply@blogger.com
